Woman Suffrage.

frage to women? Is not the U. $. governed by a demacra!ic form of government. The people rule, they empower men by placing them in office, to construct such laws as they wish, and to repudi- ate bad laws. The male prOpOr- tion after they have arrived to the age of Fl years, those who are sane and have not been distranchls- edfOr viOlationg law are allowed this privilege. There is no general tax levied, no taxable law repudia- ted, without tue majority of the :, male voters say so. (their voice is heard by their yotes.)
 Now. are not the women just as much interested ill constructing and rerudiating law as men, for they have got to obey these laws. They are punished if they disobey law they had no voice in making. Their property is taxed. Yes, we tax their property, compel tI,eM to comply with the require ! ment of law, and allow them no representation. This is tyranny, barbdrism, that American Democ. racy shou d blush a. Upon this one proposition we owe her suf- frage. It is not only right we owe to women. it is duty we owe to the rising. and to unborn gener. ] atiOns.
 l History shows that no nation can euslavc it's women. but it in. surcs its own downfall. In pro. portion as society advances in cul. ture, women are freed from and unholy tyranny.
 The advancement of a nation, is naked by the progress of it's wo. men. If you want the country to become educated, educate the wo- men. Prescribe no lines for their sphere of action, allow them to vote: give them office; let the pro. fessional college receive girls as well as boys; let the press and the mercantile portion of our country give them employment. in prefer. ence to yonn. men. This will stimulate their minds, quicken their aspirations, and will prove to be a grand system of education, that will benefit generations to come. For education ia heredita. ry from mothers.
 The system of female education to day. is the result of long con flict with mnenlightened public ! sentiment; it is a triumph over prejudices, which have had no analogy in the other ways of our life. The first dawn Ot this moral revolution, appeared in Massacllu- setts and when it showed itself, the finger cf transtguration touch ed the destiny "t women: nor can any rencti,n ever set 1t back.
 l, has been said. women is not i competent to fill the various off. ccs, and transact professional bus mess. The question has been agi tated respecting the mental differ ence betwaen man and woman. It has been cOntended that she is weaker in intellect, because she is smaller, and weaker in physical strength. Mental science will not admit this argument, for it teach es us the brain is the organ of mind. lt is true woman's brain is smaller than mans. Woman has more refinement and delicacy of the body and brain. What man lacks in delicacy and refinement of body and brain, he makes up in size. This gives woman a more intense temperament. Her whole system. both brain and body, is more compact than man. The cinericious substance Of her brain, have a greater depth; she has more brain convolutions; this gives her more brain substance, and this cin. eritious cOnvolutiOn is the part that is exercised in thought. This gives woman as much brain sur. face as man, and makes her power of mind equally balanced With mans. WIG. ROBBERS, NJ. D.
